Abstract
The Wasatch Front, home to 80% of Utah’s population, faces rapid urbanization, water scarcity, and environmental challenges. While Salt Lake City densifies its downtown to improve walkability and reduce sprawl, excessive water consumption threatens the Great Salt Lake, exposing toxic lakebeds and posing severe health risks. Mining activities, like the Bingham Canyon Mine, exacerbate ecological issues despite remediation efforts like the Daybreak development. With Utah's population projected to grow 66% by 2080, urgent measures are needed to cut water use and ensure sustainable growth in this vulnerable region.
